Title: Wings for Aerial Machines.
Inventor: DIETERLE THEOPHIL
IPC: B64C3/14
Filed: 1912-10-23
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,232. Dieterle, T. Oct. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of; propelling and steering; cars.-Planes or wings which are adapted for use as supporting or propelling surfaces on gliders and power-propelled aerial machines are arranged so that the upper surfaces of the planes alone encounter the forward wind current. The rear edge of the wing c is turned up and as shown in Fig. 3, during flight, the wing tends to be depressed at the rear and raised at the front. This may be counteracted by arranging a weight g at the front of the machine as described in Specification 20,427/12, assisted by the tail plane h. To increase the action of the air, the underside of the wing, the upper surface o at the rear, and the tips may be provided with loose friction material. The wings are concave downwards at c<1> adjacent to the body and upwards at c<11> near the tips and may merge into the body, which may be made of spindles in line or side by side. For balancing and steering, the wings may be made in two parts, Fig. 7, connected by a pantograph linkage p, q, r, s, and connected by rings to a transverse bar and adapted to be moved about a vertical axis t so that the wings may be folded or extended. The wings may be used for propelling by making the links p adjustable about an horizontal axis. In order to break the shock of landing or to propel the machine, the wings may further be mounted so as to be flapped manually or mechanically as shown in Fig. 10, springs x returning the wings to the normal position.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Casings of Motors and the like of Tramcars and other Motor Driven Vehicles, Machines, and the like, and Means for Permitting Water to Drain therefrom.
Inventor: FORREST JAMES KERR
Filed: 1912-11-18
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 26,414. Forrest, J. K. Nov. 18. Bed-plates and casings.-Motor or gear casings liable temporarily to be partly or wholly submerged in water are provided with one-way valves permitting water that may have entered to drain out when the casing is no longer submerged. The casing is so shaped that water contained therein gravitates to a part of the base in which a one-way valve such, for instance, as that shown in Fig. 3, is fitted. The upper end of the plug C is formed with a seating for a preferably buoyant valve D, which is thus held in its closing position by external water pressure. The valve is retained in the plug C by a bridge E. Two or more valves may be fitted.

Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 320. Gibson, E. Jan. 6. Latches, sliding. - The latch of a railwaycarriage door requires two movements of the inside handle to withdraw it. The latch c both slides and lifts and has a projection c<1> which is adapted to engage a portion k' of the striking-plate and can be released only by tilting the latch. The latch is mounted on the spindle d of the inside handle c so that it turns therewith, and the spindle is carried by a slide c<2> guided by projections g on the casing. The door can be unfastened by first turning the handle e to lift the bolt and then sliding the handle to withdraw the bolt into the casing. A spring i automatically shoots the bolt when the door is slammed. The handle c has an extension e<1> normally covering the slot in the casing in which the spindle d works. The outside handle carries a follower n, the movement of which first raises the latch and then withdraws it. The bolt may have a limited turning movement on the spindle d, so that the spindle e has to be rotated to a certain extent before it lifts the latch.

Abstract: 19,986. Jeffares, W. Sept. 4. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing for motorcycles and light motor-vehicles has a carrier D supporting two or more sets of planet-pinions G, H, engaging controllable sun-pinions M, N, and also other pinions J engaging a driven externally-toothed wheel K, a plate clutch C<2> being interposed between the driving-member C and the carrier, and enclosed by the driven hub or shell L. For the direct drive, the planet-pinion spindles are locked to the wheel K by a spider P, which is slid upon the spindles to bring the teeth P<2> into engagement with the wheel. The spider is moved by the flange O<3> of a non- rotatable member O, which has internal teeth O<2> to engage the pinion N or the teeth M<2> on an extension of the pinion M, according to which lower gear is required. The parts D, E<2> of the carrier are connected by bolts E carrying springs C<2> which tend to pack the clutchplates . together. To obtain a reverse gear, another set of planetpinions meshing with a further controllable sunpinion may be used, or the wheel K may be releasable from the hub and adapted to be held stationary in order to drive the first sunpinion, engaged with the driven hub or shaft, in the reverse direction. According, to the Provisional Specification. the driving - shaft is mounted in hangers, one of the hangers lying along the shaft, and a spring engaging abutments on the hanger and the member O to force this member always in one direction.

Abstract: 23,736. Jaraczewski, [nÚe Stern], L. von. Dec. 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Felt.-A filtering-material is made by depositing on a fibrous tissue having a hairy surface in a hot water bath first a layer of boneblack and then a laver of fibres mixed with boneblack which is interlaced by pressure with the fibres of the tissue. According to one method of carrying out the invention, the deposit of boneblack is obtained by pouring over the tissue, a mixture of water, alcohol, boneblack, and magnesium carbonate. The tissue after removal is allowed partly to dry and then pressed between two sheets of hard glazed paper by means of a heated roller. In making the second deposit, a mixture of boneblack, asbestos, magnesium carbonate, perhydrol of magnesia and water is used. The tissue is afterwards partly dried in a heated room, pressed for several hours and finally subjected to a cold roller.
